Damn! These things are sweet.

Been running in Sauconys exclusively for the past like 8 years but the Super Shoe Freak Commando that owns/runs the running shoe store i go to said the current version of the Omni sucks. While I find it hard to believe as its been my favorite running shoe ever -- I had to concede cause the guy knows shoes ... maybe a little TOO well ... but to each his own. Tried a zillion pairs of Brooks, Asics, Adidas, Saucony, and who knows what else.

Didn't like any of them. Then I tried on the Mizunos. They're about 1.5 ounces lighter than my Sauconys (which I always felt were a little too heavy), offer just the right amount of control I want from a trainer (I'm a mild over pronater) and offer a really plush ride.

Also nice and low cut. I hate all the fancy crap on shoes these days. These things are basic and stay out of the way. You don't even know you have them on, which is at it should be.

Damn fine shoes. Highly recomended for the lighter framed runner.
